Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs | | English term or phrase: Goods and Service Tax | Würdet Ihr das einfach mit "Mehrwertsteuer" übersetzen?
Oder bedarf es hier einer Erklärung (scheint eine indische bzw. kanadische Spezialität zu sein)? |

heißt das bei uns ;-)
Mehrwertsteuer hat sich einfach nur als Begriff eingebürgert, ist aber streng genommen non-existent, zumindest wenn es nach den Gesetzbüchern geht.

@ Marianne: Auch die GST ist eine Steuer, die letztlich vom Endabnehmer getragen wird: "The tax is a 6% charge (previously 7% before July 1, 2006) on the sale of all goods and services, except certain essentials such as groceries, residential rent, and medical services, and services such as financial services. The tax is levied on each sale. Businesses that purchase goods and services as inputs can claim "input tax credits" (i.e., they deduct from the amount of GST they have collected the amount of GST that they have paid). This avoids "cascading" (i.e., the application of the GST on the same good or service several times as it passes from business to business on its way to the final consumer). In this way, the tax is effectively borne by the final consumer. Unfortunately, this system is not completely effective, as shown by criminals who defrauded the system by claiming GST input credits for non-existent sales by a fictional company.[1] Exported goods are exempt, while individuals with low incomes can receive a GST rebate calculated in conjunction with their income tax.

13 mins confidence:   | goods and service tax Steuern auf Waren und Dienstleistungen
Explanation:
Nein, das würde ich nicht einfach mit"Mehrwertsteuer" übersetzen, da Mehrwertsteuer eine sehr spezielle Steuer ist (Eine Steuer vom Typ Mehrwertsteuer ist eine Steuer auf Waren und Dienstleistungen, die stufenweise bei den Unternehmen erhoben und letztlich vollständig vom Endabnehmer getragen wird).
Und wenn diese Steuer im Quelltext nicht ausdrücklich so genannt wird, sollte man sie auch nicht so übersetzen.
